NARRATIVE FILMS
Our past narrative film work has mainly mixed genres of drama, comedy, horror, thriller, and science-fiction. From quirky cautionary tales and entire plots based on bad puns to character-driven dramas, we have scraped the barrel of the human condition and our budgets to share stories that we hope will engage and entertain. Above all else, we hope this showcase proves our passion and reflects the fun we all had making them.
